In April, the DepEd released a draft of the newly revised K-10 curriculum to gather "comments and feedback from the public and interested stakeholders" to calibrate it before implementation according to DepEd Undersecretary and Spokesperson Michael Poa

“Once these comments are collated, we are looking to roll out our K to 10 and for implementation not this coming school year but for SY 2024-2025 that’s our target,” he added

Deped stated that the goal of the curriculum revision was to solve the issues in the previous curriculum and boost Filipino students' academic performance.

Focusing on "Big Ideas" and emphasizing the development and mastery of fundamental skills and competencies were some of the revised K-10 curriculum's most important recommendations

Since the previous administration, the review of the K-10 curriculum started making it to the final stages by May this year Initially, the deadline for comments coming from education stakeholders was set on May 3 but DepEd extended it until May 13
